HOCP at Home with Boat Builder Ben Wilde

Film still, HOCP at Home #3 Ben Wilde, 2020.

Between 2016 and 2020, Cove Park’s programme of workshops and events for children and young people was known as Hands-On Cove Park. During the Covid-19 crisis and related lockdowns, this programme moved from in-person events at Cove Park, to a series of online activities and creative projects for young people and families at home. Cove Park worked with artists and former residents to devise these free projects, sharing films, leading Zoom workshops, and delivering activity packs and materials to homes in our local area. This work was made possible with support from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.

This film offers a glimpse into the workshop at Archipelago Folk School – a social enterprise in Argyll managed by Ben Wilde. Although currently postponed, we are delighted to be working with them to offer a boat building course for Hermitage Academy’s S4 Skills Programme. Film editing by Duncan Marquiss.
